(RTTNews) - Mortgage rates, or interest rates on home loans, continued to decline, falling to a four-week low, according to mortgage provider Freddie Mac.
The 30-year FRM averaged 6.30% as of April 16, 2026, down from last week when it averaged 6.37%. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 6.83%.
The 15-year FRM averaged 5.65%, down from last week when it averaged 5.74%. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 6.03%.
"Mortgage rates declined this week to a four-week low of 6.30%," said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac's Chief Economist. "Compared to one year ago when rates were at 6.83%, this is a meaningful improvement for homebuyers during what is typically the busy spring homebuying season."
